Lens Pen

Postby Onyx on Mon Aug 30, 2004 2:08 pm

Looks like a an thick writing pen, today I impulse bought a Nikon lens pen. It's basically a cleaner for your lenses, easier than having to carry microfiber cloth or lint-free tissue.

On one end is a retractable brush, and on the other end is a circular patch thing for scrubbing.

Pics to come later.

I paid about $US7, so I'd expect it to be around $20-30 in AU.

Ah-ha!

Another one who avoided the Sydney Olympics. Well done!

Now, if we could only avoid the politicians for the next six weeks. :(

Lens pen is available from many camera shops.
They cost around $9-$15, depending on brand name.
All look the same, just different name.
I suspect they come from the same factory.
Used one for ages.
Very handy and as Onyx said work very well.
